Florence and Milan based photographer Maurizio Melozzi has been shooting professionally for about 10 years, and his work has been featured in publications such as GQ, Glamour, Marie Claire, Panorama, Amica, Velvet, Jackie, Cosmopolitan, Sin Elite, Flair, Elle, Vogue (Russia), L’Offciel (Russia), InStyle (Russia), and Harper’s Baazar.

He’s inspired by photographers like Peter Lindbergh, Bruce Weber, William Klein, JB Mondino, and some of Terry Richardson’s work. At the moment Maurizio is working on new editorials and advertisement campaigns, and he is always trying to evolve as a photographer, so he dedicates his time off to study and do research.

Here’s some of his work:

Bangkok based fashion photographer Jens Ingvarsson has been working professionally for about 1,5 years, but owning and managing his own model agency (Exodus Model Management) has kept him from really going for it. “Thus I had no shortage of models willing to de some fun test-shoots, but now I’d like to push things further and get some exposure as an aspiring fashion photographer.”

Some of his work is greatly inspired by the works of Terry Richarson, Juergen Teller and Helmut Newton, but it is all a process of testing different styles and techniques before really finding his own personal style: “I tried working inseveral different styles and only lately hav I started to figure out what I want my photography to look like. Most of the time photography is a source of fun and joy for me, and not something I do for living, at least yet.”

After spending three years focusing on his personal work, Los Angeles based fashion photographer Joseph Tran is ready to put himself out there again. Seven years ago Joseph started his photography career establishing relationships with all the major agencies in Los Angeles just doing paid and unpaid testing. From there it branched out to Miami, New York and Paris, for which clients he still has a good relationship with.

Inspired by the works of Peter Lindbergh, Richard Avedon, Paolo Roversi and more recently Terry Richardson, he focuses on bringing the best out of those he work with on a more human level, rather then a technical level. “It speaks volumes when you can bring out sides of
your subject that most other photographers can’t and won’t even think about,” he says speaking of Richardson’s work. Another huge inspiration is award-winning Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar Wai’s work. “I love the way he creates mood and drama. He inspires me to step outside the box when I’m composing and shooting a story.”

After having done a lot of commercial work, some of it being printed in magazines such as Marie Claire and Elle, he wishes to dedicate 2010 solely on fashion editorials. He explains; “It’s a busy year ahead, and i hope to continue to grow and learn. My philosophy is that no matter how long you’ve been in the business, the minute you stop learning and evolving, it’s the moment you cease to grow and become stale.”

I personally love his work, and I’m very excited to feature it on the blog. Also, being presented in this collection of photos, is up and coming model Samantha Gradoville. She recently opened/closed for Prada during the Milan F/W10, and will soon be in several editorials for Vogue. So, two names to remember for the nearest future, fashion photographer Joseph Tran, and model Samatha Gradoville:

Young French fashion photographer Alexandre Brunet got his first camera when he was eight, and hasn’t stopped shooting since. Having studied photography for three years, he decided to step in to the wonderful world of fashion photography less than a year ago. His inspirations vary from social photojournalism by Martin Parr, or more personal works by Nan Goldin, to portraits by Richard Avedon, or offbeat fashion stories by Guy Bourdin, Terry Richardson, Juergen Teller and Katja Rahlwes. His work has been featured in magazines such as WAD and Dedicate Magazine, and I have a feeling we’ll see alot more of his work in the future.

Here’s some of it:

After I posted the “Game girl” editorial by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, for Vogue Paris May 2009 issue, where art director Emmanuelle Alt worked her magic with model Daria Werbowy, I dug up this classic from the Vogue Paris May 2007 issue. Emmanuelle Alt and Daria Werbowy team up once again for the editorial “Noctambule”, only this time Terry Richardson works the camera.
